    He is such a wonderful player. I still have cassette-tapes of him I found during a trip to India in the late 80's. I think he grew up in Auroville - What a charmed musical life!

      Yes, he's from Auroville. Met him today and was lucky to listen to his mastery over this incredible instrument, which he crafted himself. What a genius! 💜

    This hi-breed is definitely a complete instrument for expressing Raga with better playing comfort than any other conventional Hindustani instrument. Modified steel guitar has entered into mainstream hindustani classical arena long before and now this one is also destined for same.

    the guitar engineering looked impressive. the sound didn't feel quite like Indian Ragas. Something major felt missing. It just sounded like guitar. The drone sound and table was in the right direction.

    • @kvnboudreaux

      @808music3 Před 6 lety +3

      I agree. No westerners have the ability to recreate the true essence of Indian sitar. Best not meddle with the original.
      Sounds silly.☝️🤪
      He hasn’t a clue how beautiful the sitar is and how you use it! It’s all in the hand and touch not the other way round.

    • @poodle3507
      @poodle3507 Před 5 lety +6

      808 Music it's not a Sitar yeah.
      Sitars can't imitate guitars either. Playing classical music of Europe on sitar would sound ridiculous too, I agree. Compared to sitar, this is inferior for Indian music, it's like if you tried to play a lute piece written by Bach with a sitar.

    • @shredgplayer5616
      @shredgplayer5616 Před 4 lety

      Los 'ragas' son como una especie de 'Teoría musical' en la India, pero, con un planteamiento más 'abstracto'.
      Supongo que alguien que ha estudiado 'Ragas' podría aplicarlas a otros instrumentos 'solistas' a parte del Sitar.
